bronze statue Of LongfellOw, to be set up in
this city Mr.. Brownell was thus the first
American, besides the sculptor himself, to
see the work. In his letter to Col. Bangs, he
praises it highly, and says Mr.. Simmons has
spent great deal of time and talent on the
model. He also says that he shall be greatly
disappointed if the people of Portland are
not unanimous in its praise. AT that time
the model was already for casting, which is
to be done at once in Rome. Mr.. Simmons
had also just finished bust of Marion
Crawford, which he exhibited to his Ameri-

Board OF Foreign Missions, delivered .
missionary address last evening at .

byterian church The position which
DIR. Mitchell fills enables him TO have .
thorough knowledge Of all the mission
airy movements carried on by the church
with which he 10 connected. He made
. general review Of the whole net work
OF the missionary work Of the Presby.
terrain church, but confined the most OF
bis remarks to Japan rs the most fruii-
full and promising field Of labor.
In 1854 Japan WAS opened to the
civilized world, and the missionary
went to work In the new field Of labor.
II was not until 1879 that there were
any signs OF the result OF their labor.
Since that time, however, there have
been organized nearly 200 chui ches
with 10. eco members
About 10 or - years ago two young
men OF nobility left Japan rs stoaways
and came to New York. After con-
siderable negotiation with the Japanese
Government they were allowed to re
main In this country for several years
and return to Japan. As result Of the
III formation they gave 10 their fellow
c0untryuen, the government sent 300
selected youths to America and an
equal number to Europe, TO be educated
in the arts and scier ces. Most OF thesS
have returned, and as q result, the
" hole nation has been revolutionized
A public school system has been intro
duced and there are now 80. 800 schools
attended by over 5000. 600 childrer
